Voltplug

This product is being advertised on a German internet sites with lots of glowing tributes;
https:/
A translated section reads ; "Called VoltPlug, its technology was originally developed by none other than legendary Serbian-American inventor, electrical engineer, mechanical engineer, and futurist Nikola Tesla.
At first it was hidden from the general public because it offered average families an opportunity to save on their monthly energy bills. VoltPlug is a small, compact, affordable, and easy-to-use plug- in device that prevents unnecessary current from entering electrical wiring and overloading the network.
VoltPlug is your electric utility's worst nightmare. They tried to hide VoltPlug from the common consumer and even banned it in retail stores.
The big energy companies feel threatened by this device and its potential to erode their profits.
But thanks to the Internet, the secret has been revealed and everyday life now benefits from lower electricity consumption overall and also in household appliances."
Does anyone understand the principle, could it be a viable idea? If it comes up in German & you are interested, you can use Google translate

IMO you get what you pay for. If something is restricting the power you will get lower bills but less energy to do whatever it is you want doing. IMO it's going to be a waste of money; and any glowing reviews are either false, or from the gullible who have fooled themselves that they've gained somehow.
DaveBro, cars can run on water:

The question on my mind is about the electricity lying ''dormant in the wiring.
I'm the scion of a very clever electrical engineer (dad supervised the electrification of the Manchester to London railway) but unfortunately little of that expertise fell onto me - I find electricity a bit of a mystery. I remember him once likening electricity passing along a wire to water through a pipe, but I can't remember what he was explaining - maybe fuses.
Keeping the analogy of water in mind, in our houses we have water standing idly in the plumbing waiting for us to turn on a tap. Overall in the country this must amount to Billions of litres of water not being used. So I ask, probably the naïve question, is there electricity in the wiring waiting to be used, and does it erode? The ad mentions Nikolai Tesla - who was indeed a clever man, so though the claims for this device are spurious, could the objective be a sensible one?
